Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 4957894, member: 34"] Stay loose. Enjoy the moment. Soak it all in. And get that done 15 minutes before tip-off. Then play your normal game. Hope the coaches are cued in to see if some of the players are overhyped and need a quick pull to get back in to their rhythm. I'd rather Edey get hot on short shots than their perimeters players getting hot from 3. I'd sacrifice short shots from Zach to make sure their perimeter players aren't getting kick out 3's. They also do well when Edey gets double-teamed and Purdue gets weak sided offensive rebounds and kick outs to 3. No double teaming from the post or weakside. Need everyone on weakside to maintain assignments. And relax. Make sure the players on UConn know both teams have anxieties but UConn's players and staff have seen the game plan through to success. Purdue has not. Do what you always do. Move and execute on offense. Rebound. Play sound defense. [/QUOTE]
